In Venice, CA, locals cringe at all things practical and boring, and A+R design store—on Venice's main drag, Abbot Kinney—epitomizes this stance. Think design-forward homewares, from a high art-utility wall-mounted wine rack to mod oil lamps inspired by Scandanavian lighthouses. This chic boutique is the brainchild of former film editor Andy Griffith and style editor Rose Apodaca, who together search high and low for the newest practical yet one-of-a-kind pieces. Expect the unexpected, like Christian Bjørn and Michelin-starred chef Morten Køster’s Steam Tower—the perfect tool for any multi-tasker. Or bring your Bordeaux to life with the Winebreather decanter: Simply stick the top of the wine bottle into the head of the decanter and flip over. Look Ma, no hands!
A+R is the one stop shop to help put a little pop in your holiday shindig. Here are a few tips on how to use their über-hip products:
The Water Carafe with Smart Lid isn’t just for water–use it to keep cocktails cool during your holiday parties, without the ice making a splash; we suggest mixing up Martha Stewart's Cranberry Cocktails.
A+R's Hot+Cold Carving Tray Set makes serving a breeze. Use the white porcelain cooling tray to serve cold appetizers such as sushi, shrimp cocktail, or oysters; we suggest getting your oysters from Hog Island Oyster and your sushi fish from Honolulu Fish Co.
The minute spices are ground, they start deteriorating. With A+R's Bottle Grinder set, spices can now be bought whole, which can keep for years, and ground as needed. The Spice House offers whole spices to purchase online, like organic cloves and cinnamon.
